Despite modest numbers as a senior this past season (25 catches, 391 yards, three touchdowns), he has impressed scouts with his natural athleticism and receiving skills. Kasa surprised even his own coaching staff with the way that he picked up the offense, flashing a physical mean streak as a run blocker and improving with more game action. He has had a tough time staying healthy, but his intriguing NFL upside is the reason that he appears No. 1 on this list.

With that kind of review, someone here should have noticed him long ago.

Some guys getting good press at the Shrine Game practices so far from Eric Galko of Miami Dolphin's Draft include Terraun Armstead, David Bass and Mike Catapano.

-The star of the offensive tackles was almost without question Terron Armstead, a player who Iāve been a fan of all year. He showed ideal body technique, hand placement, and kick slide depth in pass pro, and pinched inside well in the run game in team drills. He showed the ability to seal defensive ends in the run game, and was the only offensive tackle to slow/stop David Bass (more on him later) all day.

-The star of the practice without question was Missouri Western Stateās David Bass. He was a step quicker than another defensive linemen off the snap, maintained balance and explosiveness in every drill, and was using his hands with force in both drills and one vs. one reps. In the pass protection drill, he was 4 for 5 in getting a sack, with only Terron Armsteadslowing him (but likely still forced QB out of the pocket). A dominate day, he may no longer be a ālate round sleeperā if he keeps this play up.

-Also impressing was Mike Catapano of Princeton. The defensive end struggled to bend on the outside and run the arc as a pass rusher, but he consistently stays low in drills and in one vs. one drills, and dipped his inside shoulder very well. He was active and aggressive all day, and was a force as a rusher today, giving blockers (especially Rutgersās RJ Dill) fits all day.

Terron Armstead/OL/Arkansas Pine-Bluff: Very impressive. Athletic, blocks with good fundamentals and controlled opponents most of the day. Played up to his level of competition all morning.

David Bass/DE/Missouri Western: Terrific morning practice. Quick off the snap, fast off the edge and constantly beat his opponent. Looked very athletic on the field and was tough to stop.

William Campbell/DT/Michigan: Big, strong, controlling lineman that constantly pushed blockers off the ball and into the backfield. Was dominant at times and could not be stopped. Did not show great quickness or a closing burst. More of a gap occupier and pocket collapser then play maker.

Mike Catapano/DE/Princeton: Has several nice plays in one-on-one as well as scrimmage. Fast off the edge and fluid on twists/stunts.

Devin Taylor/DL/South Carolina: Terrible day. Handled at the point by just about everyone he faced off against, down to the small school blockers. Just gave the impression his best football is behind him.

Another guy getting consistent good press at the Shrine Game practices is Richmond S Cooper Taylor - like board binky Dexter McCoil, a huge safety at 6'4" 222#, but with good movement skills. Draftinsider notes:

Cooper Taylor/S/Richmond: Monstrous safety. Fluid and quick moving about the field. Nice pedal and turn. Showed a lot of good skills today.

Once again, Cooper Taylor impressed today, as the Richmond safety followed up a surprising Monday. Showing great reaction and pickup ability with running back and tight ends, he closed on routes quickly and only gave up one catch in his zone/man, which was a quick out by Ray Graham (tough to defend from SS spot).

Word is that CB Khalid Wooten from Nevada showed well at the East-West game. He's an interesting potential late-round flier. More of an athlete than a cornerback but he's strong on the field and has good measurables.
